Weathering the Storm

there is a storm deep in me
          skies turn dark within my mind
a raging tsunami begging to be free
          clouds obscure the truth to find
tidal waves crashing forcibly
          lightning strikes and i am blind
battering my body for all to see
          thunder tramples my heart to grind
pain lashes out to ignore my plea
          as winds howl and i am resigned


to my fate, 
          my life, 
                    my time.

Hi Germaine, been reading a few of your poems and added u to my fav list. So whatever is going on inside, it's substance that fuels what you write. You demonstrate such a raw, open richness that I admire - Shaz

I hope to live up to that fave list in the future !
